    Is $44k a fair price for the 2008 GT Sport?

      Given the attractive looks, features and decent interior quality, I would say 40k driveway would have been a good price. Unfortunately decades of poor distribution and marketing hasn't really help the reputation of Peugeot as a brand in Australia.

    Good handling if you push it, very good, and it feels safe, well built, no squeaks or rattles of any kind.

    Can't understand why Peugeot has included a volume knob when there's a volume control on the steering wheel and also on the infotainment screen. That should have been dedicated to either the fan speed of temperature control. Just a stupid inclusion! Otherwise a cracking car and it's one I'm going for at the end of the year because Peugeot seem to be the only manufacturer that still, sensibly, uses a torque converter gearbox. So much easier to drive in heavy traffic!

High output + low capacity = high stress. Result is reduced lifespan. This is unavoidable physics. I've learnt my lesson.

      Im speaking as someone from the UK who never owned,but worked for a Peugeot Main Dealer Parts department for almost 30 years and only left late last year.The key for engine reliability seems to be a combination of driving not just town.....premium fuel and regular oil changes with quality oil,as this engine's cambelt runs in oil.Also i notice Peugeot Australia offer a more lengthy warranty than its UK equivalent ( must have something to do with size of the market ) as essentially both models are the same, UK or Australia are RHD! The product Peugeot offer is a lot more premium than when i first started with them,the last 7 years has seen a massive upturn in quality! ( and yes that includes electrics !! ) A lot of issues can be eliminated by a simple download from a Main Dealer as basically they are rolling computers nowadays!! Hope this helps,as for spares prices sorry i cant speak for you guys,but in the UK most items are reasonably priced,the only parts prices that shocked me were for outer trims like lower door mouldings etc.

Although It could’ve been a bit bigger, faster and more powerful since it’s got the looks and the size for a slightly more powerful engine but it’s still good, in my opinion. As for the 3008, they really should put a bigger, better & more powerful engine but PSA seems to have perfected only the 1.5 blue hdi (130hp) engine, which is way too small for a 3008! The 1.2L engine shouldn’t even exist and you already know why.
